11 Indigo PCNs

They use QDR solicitors as a last-ditch attempt to frighten people into paying up. They know perfectly well they cannot legally enforce these “penalties “. They also know people tend to believe what’s in a solicitor’s letter, so it’s a very effective form of extortion.

This behaviour brings the lethal profession into disrepute. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Oops! Bit of a Freudian slip!

Very boringly they keep sending their letters to the leasing company when I had obvioulsy appealed to them (Indigo) and they have my details, which means I have to explain to the car dealership (leasing comp) that they should not communicate/try to negotiate or pay, and that this has nothing to do with them as the owner of the car. Very tedious.

Time to complain to the BPA with copies of all the correspondence appertaining to you telling them not to contact the lease company. Copy in the DVLA and ask them to open an investigation.

I have actually NOT told them anything such as not to contact the leasing company, but in the initial 5 PCNs the leasing comp had forwarded to me, I clearly identified myself as the driver with my details when I appealed to Indigo.
The following 6 they sent were “too late” for me to appeal so I simply could not do it. As I have not appealed to ITAL and have no intention to do that as per all above advice, they might still feel they need to contact the address they must have got from DVLA for the second batch of 6 they sent. I have no idea and hard to know as they don’t even respect their own made up rules and delays to appeal etc!

And we all know that QDR is owned by the disgraced Wright Hassall solicitors

Thought only driver was liable when it comes to byelaw 14?

twhitehousescat

yes as clearly state this in the facts on the new appeal page

exact wording is

The Byelaws 14(4) state that it is the owner of a vehicle that may be liable for a Penalty. The owner is presumed to be the registered keeper, unless it is proven otherwise. If the owner was not the driver, the owner is still liable for the Penalty.


however if you try to appeal with them you are offered 2 choices

1: I am the owner

2: I am the keeper , but are forced to give the owners details
